Flash video - mute at start?

I'm using the file ClearOverMute as video controls for my
.flv
How can I amend ClearOverPlayMute.fla (Action Script 2) so
that the initial state is Mute, and the user presses the audio
button to hear sound?
I'm not a scripter, so clear instructions would be much
appreciated.
Many thanks, Linda

Bit tricky but workable.
Assuming your FLV Playback component has instance name
"FLV_Playback" (replace it with your
instance name), this action on timeline frame will do what
you after:
FLV_Playback.volume = 0;
FLV_Playback._uiMgr._isMuted = true;

Flash Video Encoder wont start up

I had this problem with my FVE 8 too. I have uninstalled
Flash video encoder 8 and deleted all prefs. Now, I am simply not
able to open CS3 Flash video encoder. Never been able to open it.
Tried everything to no avail. Has anyone else had this issue? I'm
on a Mac, have checked the crash reports but am unable to see
clearly what is causing the crash. Any help there would also be
great. Thanks.

Trying updating all video codecs including quicklime player.
You should not have had to remove old flv encoder because they are
located in different places. CS3 is located in adobe folder where
as older versions are in macromedia folder.

How to *not* automatically download flash video

Hi,
I can't get my Flash video to *not* start downloading when I access my page.
The problem page is - http://www.camerawallihpictures.com/reel.php
There are six videos on this page. When I access it, all the videos start to download - the progress bar on all videos shows the downloading.
They don't start playing, they just download.
Does anyone know how to stop this?
Thanks in advance for you help!
Josh

Thanks for your interest.
Yes, the flvplayback compenent.
I created the flv file with adobe media encoder, then went through the standard File > Import > Import Video method.
I've set both the autoPlay parameter to false and set the HTML Publish Setting "Paused at Start" to false.
Note - Even though automatically *playing* is not really the problem, I've set both those to 'false'. Actually, the autoPlay functionality works properly for me whether true or false.
I'm using CS5.
Here's the html
            <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"

Flash videos and buttons are disappearing...?

I start my home with a site that has an editable reigon, and
a few flash buttons which are layered above a "transparent" flash
video, the video plays perfectly the first time. I proceed to click
on one of the links which leads me to another page with one of
these flash videos nestled behind yet more flash linking buttons
and a table, this also is working perfectly the first time. Then I
click yet another link from that page and am now at a simple page
that consists of only a background and 2 flash link buttons which
each lead back to the two previous pages described. If i click on
the link that leads to the first page the Flash buttons reman in
full working order on the 1st page but the video fails to start
playing again, even if I refresh. The same goes for if I click the
link to the second page described, except the buttons do not appear
as well as the flash video failing to start. I am fairly new to
dreamweaver, but have been using flash for quite some time. I
cannot paste the codes here since they are way too long. please
tell me if you have any ideas on what I should do, your help is
greatly appreciated. Sorry about this post is confusingly worded.
Thanks, Rumsey

Try running Firefox 4.0 Beta 7 in 32-bit mode (close Firefox, control-click the Firefox.app icon, select "Get Info", and then check the box, "Open in 32-bit mode"). This worked for another Mac user in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/765367 this other thread].

Flash video on web page takes long very time to load before it starts playback

I just created a basic flash file to play a video on my web page and it's taking several minutes to load before it starts playback.
I'm using progressive downlaod and the file is in *.mov format and is 84MB in size. At first that seemed large to me for web play back, but I thought it could handle it since I thought the way progressive download works is that it would start playing the first frame right away and progressively play other frames as they download. However, this seems to be downloading the whole file first (or a major part of it) before starting any playback at all.
Is there some kind of setting I'm missing or is my understanding of the download incorrect and the file size is too large?
Some vitals:
- I'm using Flash Pro CS5
- To create my flash file, I used the standard import video wizard and selected the a file that is "on my computer" and "load external video with playback component" and then, I selected one of the standard skins.
- To deploy the vidoe on my webiste I have three files:
1) swf file containing the FLV component
2) the swf file related to skin
3) the actual video (84MB, mov file)
- Web page includes/embeds reference to swf file

Thanks for your response again. Looks like things have changed a bit to complicate this a little more.
adninjastrator wrote:
Are you saying that if I wait long enough it will start to play .... from the link you posted?
What you are implying here is correct. The file won't play no matter how long you wait. Looks like it's because of the "source" file settings in the Import Wizard may now be incorrrect. This is why it's not playing in the new file.
When I created my original Flash Video using a MOV file, during the import wizard, when asked "Where is your video file?" I selected the option "Already deployed to a web server...". Here I entered the url to where the video file is located on my production server.
When I created the new Flash Video using F4V file, during the import wizard, when asked "Where is your video file?" I selected the option "On your computer". Here I selected the file from my local drive.
Sorry for not pointing out the inconsistency earlier - I didn't think it mattered and plus I couldn't get the F4V file to import from the web server.
Anyway, I've changed my object tag using the acutal published html that flash generates and have uploaded all source files to same location.
http://www.upperhand.com/tv/video-intro.html
To sum up the problem(s) I need help with:
Issue #1 - When trying to import F4V file using import wizard, I cannot use "Already deployed to a web server..." as an option for the file location. I believe this is creating issue #2
Issue #2 - For some reason, the F4V file will not load into the SWF file when it's published to my production server.
It works when viewing locally through browser as c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mywebsite\video-intro.html
It doesn't work when viewing on development server through browser as http://localhost/mywebsite/video-intro.html
It doesn't work when viewing on production server through browser as http://www.mywebsite.com/video-intro.html
Issue #3 - When the above are resolved, I'm not certain if my orignal question/issue will be resolved... browser tries to downlaod full file before any playback.

Adobe flash video constantly crashes when starting to play

The flash player crashes every time I try to play a flash video in browser (vk videos as well as dailymotion and as well as youtube). Flash games are okay, though... Kongregate.com at the very least... At the same time google Chrome does not crash and plays video okay.
There're no crash reports for these crashes in about:crashes.
I tried downgrading flash to 10.3. I tried to update real player. I turned off hardware acceleration. Nothing helps! The video just crashes at the very first moment of playback.
PS: it all started recently. In august. There were no problems in July.

Same problem here. Every new Shockwave version has gotten worse. I'm beginning to wonder if there's compatibility issues with the other plug-ins and/or add-ons I use?
Is there a Mozilla or Firefox 'tool' that checks the compatibility of the plug-ins and add-ons?

Start flash video

How can I have an event on my page start a flash video start?
I have a .FLV file that starts and looks correct. I see the
controls on the video. I want a rollover on a separate object
restart the video from the beginning.
I have tried looking it up, but have not found the correct
term.
Thank you very much for your clues.
Robert

It might be easiest, if you have autoRewind set to true, to
call:
my_btn.onRollOver = function() {
FLVComponent.stop(); //will rewind
FLVComponent.play();
}

Don't want my Flash videos to starting loading until play

I have Flash videos on a website, and I don't want the video to start loading until the user has hit the play button. How do I do that?
Joey

I'm using the 'skinoverplaystopseekmutevol' skin for my videos. I have it set so the video doesn't start to play right away, but it loads right away - I don't want that to start until the user clicks play. I have created the video in an AS3 file, but I haven't added any AS to it - just used the component.

Flash videos start having messed up sound

Hello there.
I never shutdown my PC and thus also not my programs, including the browser. After my browser (I've tried Firefox, Chromium and Opera, all with the same result) has been running for a while (1-3 days) flash videos will playback with messed up sound. By that I mean that the sound will stutter heavily and loop that stuttering second over and over. I then just shutdown the browser, start it up again and watch the video again. Then it takes a day or so and the same stuff happens. It's not a mindboggling hassle to restart my browser every other day, but I've had this problem for *ages* now (maybe a year or something like that) and I'd really like to know if there's a way to fix it.

I think that happens when flash crashes. It happens to me if I use it a lot for a prolonged period of time - like whole day watching movies / listening to music via flash-based players.
The sound stutters just like in your case and it goes away after I restart the browser.
As long as it involves flash, you will suffer as I don't know any way of permanently fixing it. You can move to html5-based media or download the videos and watch them from your hard drive.

Flash video is just awful - starts and stops

10.6.8 iMac 4Gb ram. Main browser Firefox.
Flash video has gotten progressively worse with Adobe updates over last 3 months. Used to run youtube smooth as glass.
Now yt video runs for a 30 sec then stops, restarts after 5seconds, runs for 15, stops for 5. If you rerun the same video (see wrchd.com for Argentine Rally preview video), it stops and starts at the same spots.
I have Little snitch running a you can see a nice buffer load of data come in to start the video, then there is a period when there's no activity until it stops. It sort of like Flash gets carried away watching its own display and forgets to get more info.
Same results watching dailyshow.
I've tried turning hardware acceleration in Flash off and on with no change in performance.
So why does Flash fail now?
Thanks for any advice.

Is the video starting and stopping or just the audio? What OS, browser, and Flash Player Version are you using? Can you also provide us with a URL to try out?
Thanks,
Chris

Flash Video Not Paused At Start

Hi there
I'm trying to publish a flash video to the web but even
though I've ticked the "paused at start" option in the publish
settings, it still plays when the page is loaded.
I've also tried adding various things such as
autoplay='false', autostart='false' etc. but no joy.
Can anybody point me in the right direction please??
Thanks!

Shan I have the same problem but the code is generated by
Flash CS 3 in the html file it produces. Here is part of it. You
will see

should work?

Start Flash Video in stopped mode ...

Hi, I’m using a standard video player from flash8 and
the videos start right away when going on the web-page. How can I
define that the movie is stopped and you would need to hit the play
button before it starts. In the way that the first image of the
movie is shown in the player already at start.
You can download the .fla here :

Rich media (Flash, video, 3D, etc.) is stored in the PDF file in compressed form, and is uncompressed at the point of playback (i.e. when the video activates). This introduces a small delay if you're scrolling past a video, and there's not a lot you can do about it.

Everytime I start firefox I get its web page plus Flash Video Downloader advertisement in 2nd tab, how do I get rid of this

I get the standard Firefox web page but also get a second web page advertisement for Flash Video Downloader. I use Flash Video Downloader already and my data use is limited monthly so I don't want this page coming up every time I get on the web browser. I've asked the Flash Video folks but they have no suggested solutions. It is not shown in options for home page and I can't find where it is being loaded from.

Hello,
Try restore your startup page(Home Page), go to '''Tools''' >> '''Option''' >> '''General''', and restore to default or a page that you want.

Insert Flash Video MUTED

Hi,
I have an embedded FLV in a Dreamweaver page, inserted using
the
Insert > Media > Flash Video menu item and using the
Clear Skin 1 skin. Everything's been working well, but now
the client would like the movie to start MUTED with the option for
the user to turn the mute button off (or turn volume on).
I've tried using FlashVars (value="volume=0") and that
doesn't seem to work.
Is there some easy way of doing this or do I have to go back
to Flash and do it there?

When I try to play a flash video (like youtube) i have to click a flash button several times before it works. Why do flash videos not recogonize any clicks without several tries first?

When I try to go to a flash video, the video player never seems to recognize my mouse clicks without several tries.
It's hard to explain but if I'm at a youtube video and i place my cursor over the button that lets you skip around the video, the cursor will alternate being a cursor (like its not recognized) and a hand like its supposed to. It's sort of keeps flickering between the two if I move the mouse around on that little skip button.
I tried uninstalling firefox but it didn't make a difference. I noticed it after updating to the newer firefoxe updates. This does not happen under IE.
thank you for your help.

'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web link}
While you are in safe mode;
Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Followed by;
Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
Then '''Advanced > General.'''
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.
